Goodness me. We're burying soldiers daily and it's as if nothing happened. This is why we must get it right in 2027. We cannot lose this much military personnel on home soil and at like it's fine. We can't!

It all depends on the location. Drivers around VI, Lekki in Lagos, surely make more. In PH, drivers around GRA, Odili, etc. make more. Volume of rides per day plays an important role, and these spots in Lagos and PH certainly bring huge volumes.

Yes Nigeria will never work with the present structure we have in place. Nigeria needs to be restructured. But Nigeria cannot restructure itself. It is the President that can lead the push for restructuring.
So it is wrong to abstain from voting. You need to vote so we can elect the President that understands the real issues and can effectively mobilize the population and convince the majority of Nigerians on why the country needs to be restructured politically and economically.
At the moment, when you mention restructuring, the vast majority of the elites from the core North suspect that you are encouraging secession. We should all take elections seriously.

No Nigerian President will restructure this country.

Your submission is one of the reasons why I don't bother voting in general elections. I love my country, but truth is, Nigeria will never, ever develop with the current political structure we have. Even if we elect a 'better' President tomorrow, the next one could pretty much destroy everything the past one did by a mere pronouncement the next month. See what's happening at the state level. Good governor today, and tomorrow another one pulls down or simply abandons developmental structures and policies by the immediate past due to silly political expediency.

It was Buhari's second year in office that opened my eyes to the actual problems of this country. I thought to myself, "how is it, that two Presidents (Jonathan - Buhari) of different disposition, different religious beliefs, different ethnic extraction and political parties lead the country in similar, almost identical, ways?" I pondered about it and eventually reached the 'skeleton' of the country. Suddenly, I realised that the country is sick at its core. Nigeria was designed as a colonial substitute. The spirit of the Nigerian Constitution perpetuates colonialism under a semantic facade of federalism.

The Nigerian constitution designates the country as a Federation, yet, it tells her to serve a Lord at the center. It tells states to do whatever they want, yet, it empowers Abuja to nationalize any resource that exists at scale. On top of that, it tells the states to gather in Abuja every month to pick up a paycheck whether or not they contributed anything to the economy. This entire setup is anti-development. It's rotten and it stinks.

No state in Nigeria will ever achieve second-tier development status. Look around you and assess our cities. Billions spent, yet, our cities resemble war terrains. The entire structure was never set up to develop us. If we're ever serious about placing Nigeria on the map, the first question we would ask is the constitution question.

Bunch of kids in adult bodies ruling the Nigerian political and social spaces. Nuisance dem.

ExxonMobil never left Nigeria. They only divest to Seplat, they still maintain strong offshore presence. Propaganda has limit. They are at Karaa Place, Osborne Foreshore, Ilubirin.

Omoh, I weak o. I just returned from ERHA FPSO, operated by Exxonmobil, this week. What are they talking about? And the USAN they're talking about is already a functional rigging offshore facility. They're simply expanding, same way they've been expanding and almost done at ERHA.

Time to update the Oracle with people's pain and tears. IYKYK. May the victims gain strength to rise back up.

Do these not fit your criteria?

Saddening indeed. There was a country.

The entire current security architecture is designed to wait for disaster to take place, after which they react. Millions will eventually be paid to secure the release of these kids, while the government would boast about how they successfully rescued them. An incident that shouldn't happen at all were we a serious country. The level of ineptitude currently on display in Nigeria's corridors of power is historical. Kai!

First flight happened this year. It was from PH to Lagos, and back. The heights scared me a lot. Looking down the window was traumatising in a way. Lots of weird thoughts flowed through my mind all through the flight, but thank God for safe travels. I observed the ears get temporarily blocked when planes hit 20,000ft plus. First time experiencing turbulence isn't funny at all. Those patches of dark clouds you see up in the sky trap a mass of air that troubles planes. I almost lost my mind. And, when you arrive just before MM2 or are departing to PH, there's this weird turn planes make. If it's your first time, you could lose your composure with the experience when that turn happens. See ehn, flights are a miracle. 🤣🤣

Yet, afraid to go into the elections against other political parties. What a bunch of sissies.

"How to ruin your life in 15 seconds".

Contrary to what many claimed, this is actually Nigeria. The architecture of the buildings at the background gave it away.

From the moment this war began some of us already knew it was never going to end in the battlefield, rather, on the negotiation table. The moment Putin (an ex-KGB) decided to attack Ukraine, he knew he was never coming out without his head high. Why? Because they have been years in planning for a possible war.

This war has achieved absolutely nothing for the West other than making Russia the most war experienced country in the modern age. Research from lessons from this war will ensure Russia is the most war-ready nation on this planet. Experts say Russia fires over 30k motar daily. Think about that for a second. Now think about the rate they're going to stockpile going forward. The Ukraine experiment was a colossal mistake of epic proportions.

This list is laughable, though. Russia knows better than to trust the same countries who blatantly deny the "not one inch Eastward" declaration. They know the West will never rest until Russia is wiped out from the face of the earth. NATO literally exists to destroy Russia one day. You think Moscow is oblivious of this? They will never allow peacekeepers in Ukraine, because all kinds of wrong can result from that arrangement. If Palestine cannot be allowed to attain statehood, who is going to coerce Russia to accept EU-America peacekeeping in Ukraine? That's DOA.

From a Russian perspective, this list is just so, so laughable. €100b in what appears to be reparations? Funny! Russia will drag this war until Ukraine is consumed, and they don't mind if it takes the next 20 years. They've built an entire economy around the war, and will always have China, India and BRICS behind it. So, bring on the sanctions. It would only be as effective as it has been in the last over 3 years.

It's either Russia's demands are met or Ukraine seizes to exist, however long it takes. That's the resolve in Moscow, and I know the Americans have come to terms with that. Russia will take what it wants in the end. It's brutal, yes? That's the result of challenging a super power who probably never wanted to fight you in the first place.

As a space afficianado, I'm so much in love with my homescreen background pic.

You people should leave Gov Fubara alone. Na una early support got him the suspension.

Just imagine. Citizens of the banana republic.

We share this country with some of the asinine human beings to ever walk the surface of this swirling orb. They refuse accountability, lie at the drop of a hat, defend mediocrity, steal and continue to perpetuate ineptitude all for personal gains. After all they did to this Ofili girl, this man had thw effrontery to accuse her. Crass and callous humans.

The Russia-Ukraine war no doubt has triggered a new phase in international relations that's only going to get bigger in influence. I'm not implying that the West has been defeated, but things in international politics has taken a dramatic detour since the Kremlin marched into Ukraine. The global South suspects hypocrisy and highhandedness in the manner which Russia and Israel has been treated differently and have come to realise that a similar unjust balance awaits anyone who doesn't fit into the dictates of the West. The UNGA last year was replete with angst expressed in speech after speech by many heads of state.

The global South is now making alignments to upset what has been the norm since 1945. Pro-Western pundits always point out the totalitarian backing behind Russia and China, but they forget that in trade and commerce, people only ask "how much", and couldn't care less about "who governs your country".

Combined, Russia-India-China has the financial and technological resources to match the West, the only trivial challenges being just time and strategic planning.

Sometimes i feel this man should just keep quiet!

So people like you can speak? Name one thing he said wrong. You would all watch the country burn gleefully, but so long as your principal is in office there's no cause for alarm, even if 1000 people die in a week!
